INTRODUCTION
In recent years, there has been a notable surge in the global demand for salmon fish meat and products, driven by its recognized nutritional benefits and diverse culinary applications. Responding to this escalating demand, the salmon industry has undergone a significant transformation, shifting from traditional wild-caught methods to widely adopting salmon farming practices (Iversen et al., 2020). Norway and Chile, as key players in the salmon industry, have each embraced these changes with unique approaches. The evolution of these practices prompts critical inquiries into the economic, social, and environmental implications associated with both farmed and wild-caught salmon.
Background and Context of the Research
Salmon farming, or aquaculture, has emerged as a pivotal component of the global seafood industry, contributing significantly to the world's salmon supply. As the global population continues its perpetual growth and dietary habits evolve, the escalating demand for seafood places substantial strain on dwindling fish populations, including essential staples
such as salmon. Beyond being a nutritional powerhouse, salmon represents an entire industry with profound impacts on global economics, environments, societies, and sustainability agendas (Naylor et al., 2000). As noted by Iversen et al. (2020), stakeholders ranging from environmentalists, fishermen, and fish farmers to politicians and global consumers express heightened concerns about both salmon farming practices' environmental, social, and economic implications. At the heart of this research is a comparative analysis of the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of farmed and wild-caught fish practices. It seeks to evaluate their alignment with the United Nations' seventeen sustainable development goals
(SDGs) and recommend a more suitable approach for future endeavors.
Despite the longstanding tradition of harvesting salmon through wild-caught methods,
sustainability concerns have emerged, particularly regarding overfishing. Overfishing
FARMED AND WILD SALMON

depletes salmon populations and threatens the delicate ecology of marine ecosystems, leading
to habitat destruction (
Quiñones et al., 2019). The decline in the salmon population holds significant implications for various aspects, including food security, cultural traditions, and socioeconomic conditions. Indigenous tribes, with deep cultural and historical ties to salmon, face particular challenges as the diminishing salmon population jeopardizes their way of life. Additionally, the unpredictable availability of wild-caught salmon introduces cost and price volatility. The inherent challenges in catching and maintaining wild populations contribute to the generally higher cost of wild-caught salmon than its farmed counterpart. This price volatility can impact consumers and create accessibility issues in numerous communities (Poblete et al., 2019). Quiñones et al. (2019) further highlight that wild-caught salmon's quality and safety standards often come under scrutiny. Exposure to growing aquatic contaminants, including heavy metals and pollutants, poses risks to consumer health. The lack of comprehensive quality control measures in wild-caught salmon raises safety concerns,
highlighting the need for vigilant monitoring and management.
While acknowledging the challenges associated with wild-caught salmon, it is crucial to emphasize that well-managed, sustainable fisheries can provide consumers with a reliable source of wild salmon. The practical implementation of sustainable practices is essential for mitigating the adverse impacts of overfishing, ensuring the continued availability of wild-
caught salmon, and addressing the concerns raised by various stakeholders (Luthman et al., 2019). The imperative has necessitated the transition from wild-caught to farmed salmon to meet the burgeoning global demand while addressing concerns about overfishing and the depletion of natural salmon stocks. However, this shift is not without contention, introducing various challenges related to sustainability, environmental impact, and socioeconomic consequences.

The substantial dependence on wild-caught fish as feed for farmed fish diets contributes to the overfishing of small forage fish, critical components of marine ecosystems. Escapes of farm salmon exacerbate issues by fostering genetic interactions between wild and farmed salmon populations, diminishing genetic diversity in wild salmon populations and jeopardizing the species' long-term survival (Clavelle et al., 2019). The social and economic repercussions of farmed salmon are diverse across locations. While salmon farming can stimulate economic growth and create job opportunities in certain regions, it also exacts adverse effects in many areas. Beyond Indigenous communities with cultural ties to wild salmon, local fisheries and economies reliant on wild salmon face potential adverse impacts, leading to significant social and economic challenges. Many farms grapple with contamination issues, harboring heavy metals and organic pollutants that can persist during processing, triggering consumer health concerns. Nutrient pollutants present a central concern, as salmon farms are linked to nutrient pollution, primarily due to excess feed and fish waste. The accumulation of excess nutrients in surrounding waterways fuels eutrophication. This process renders water over-nutrient-rich, fostering harmful algae blooms and subsequent oxygen-depleted "dead zones" in marine ecosystems.
Farmed salmon demands substantial resource inputs, including fishmeal, freshwater, and energy, leading to inefficiencies and a considerable carbon footprint. The industry's sustainability is further complicated by the absence of comprehensive and enforceable global standards for aquaculture salmon quality, contributing to operational variations. Amidst the burgeoning global food demands and the perpetual pursuit of sustainability, the salmon industry presents both promise and challenges (Naylor et al., 2000). While farmed salmon holds the potential to bolster food security and foster job opportunities, it concurrently introduces significant environmental challenges, raising apprehensions about its long-term viability (Taranger et al., 2014).

Statement of the Problem
As the salmon industry navigates this transformative phase, it becomes imperative to rigorously assess the consequences of these evolving practices. Acknowledging the environmental and socioeconomic externalities linked to wild salmon harvesting practices, it is imperative to discern that farmed salmon, often viewed as an alternative, presents its own challenges and sustainability concerns. Clavelle et al. (2019) explain that a comprehensive understanding of the criticisms surrounding the sustainability of farmed fisheries necessitates an exploration into the intricacies of aquaculture and the environmental, social, and economic
externalities that diverge from alignment with the United Nations' sustainable development goals. Farmed salmon encounters sustainability challenges that deviate from the objectives of
the United Nations’ sustainable development goals. These challenges primarily encompass significant environmental externalities, including water pollution and potential disease outbreaks resulting from waste run-off (Asche & Smith, 2019). High stocking densities further compound the environmental impact, contributing to various issues. The use of antibiotics in farmed salmon populations, while intended to address health concerns, poses additional challenges to sustainability and aligning with broader SDGs.
The crux of the issue lies in the delicate balance between the economic benefits and environmental costs associated with farmed salmon production. While farmed salmon is anticipated to enhance food security, create job opportunities, and alleviate pressure on wild stocks, the potential environmental repercussions demand careful consideration. In the pursuit
of comprehending the complexities surrounding farmed salmon sustainability, this research will delve into a detailed examination of these challenges in the subsequent sections. This exploration aims to provide insights that contribute to a holistic understanding of the sustainability landscape within the salmon industry, informing discussions and decisions for more environmentally, socially, and economically responsible practices.

but grapples with challenges, particularly in freshwater usage and habitat regulation. The diversity in approaches emphasizes the need for context-specific strategies to enhance the sustainability of both practices (Brown et al., 2022).
5.3. Identification of Key Patterns or Trends
The initial hypothesis suggested that while farmed salmon may enhance food security and job opportunities, the environmental cost is significantly higher than that of wild-caught salmon. The findings support this hypothesis to some extent. Farmed salmon contributes to food security and employment but comes with environmental challenges, including resource dependence and habitat disruption. Wild-caught salmon, while culturally significant, faces threats from overfishing and habitat destruction (Poblete et al., 2019). Key patterns and trends
emerge from the comparative analysis. The shift towards alternative protein sources in Chilean fish feed signifies a positive trend towards sustainability. Norway's focus on advanced waste management and genetic diversity preservation demonstrates a commitment to environmental stewardship. The identification of regional disparities in job creation and the
cultural significance of wild-caught salmon underscores the need for targeted interventions to
address socioeconomic and cultural implications.
In summary, this chapter provides a comprehensive analysis of the research findings, offering
insights into the sustainability of farmed and wild-caught salmon in Norway and Chile. The nuanced interpretation of results emphasizes the importance of a balanced approach that considers economic, environmental, and socio-cultural dimensions for a more sustainable

salmon industry.
The findings provide insights into the vast potential for marine aquaculture as a suitable replacement for wild-caught salmon but, at the same time, points out the environmental, social, and economic externalities that accompany the industry today. Authors
such as Costa-Pierce (2022), Norman et al. (2019), Golden et al. (2016), and Hilborn et al. (2018) emphasize the significance of aquaculture's potential to address the mounting challenges associated with declining wild salmon populations and habitat destruction. While many authors and literature underscore the potential of aquaculture salmon farming as a sustainable replacement, there is significant doubt from many experts who describe an overwhelming variety of externalities accompanying the salmon farming industry. Although criticisms of salmon farming arise from the evidence of socio-environmental externalities, the
overarching consensus from the literature is that wild-caught salmon alone is not a sustainable or viable practice.
The traditional method of harvesting wild salmon comes with many externalities that encompass overfishing, habitat destruction, fluctuating availability, and significant economic and food security concerns. According to Robards and Greenberg (2007), the abundance and diversity of salmon stocks have declined, with many now in crisis and the declining salmon stocks are due to “human economic growth actions that ignore biological underpinnings. The profound and far-reaching impacts of overfishing on wild salmon populations and the surrounding natural ecology are emphasized in the literature. In Naylor’s “Effect of Aquaculture on World Fish Supplies (2000), " the authors underscore the significance of the concern that overfishing depletes salmon populations and threatens the ecological balance of surrounding ecosystems. This depletion results in habitat destruction, a theme further supported by Costa-Pierce (2002) in “Ecological Aquaculture: The Evolution of the Blue Revolution.” Both pieces of literature point to habitat destruction from salmon overfishing having severe implications for many species and ecosystems.

Furthermore, the fluctuating availability of wild-caught salmon brings economic challenges and food security concerns. As Tacon et al. (2020) noted, the variability in wild salmon causes cost and price volatility, resulting in food availability issues. Wild-caught salmon is generally more expensive due to expenses in capturing and maintaining populations, a point reinforced by Hilborn et al. (2018). The price volatility of wild salmon leads to economic inaccessibility and food security concerns in many communities. Another main concern in the literature revolves around the quality and safety of wild-caught salmon, especially as marine pollution, biomagnification, and lack of quality control become more pressing issues. Given the profound implications of these externalities on ecological health, socioeconomic well-being, and food security, the literature collectively highlights the need for a more sustainable and dependable approach to salmon production. As wild-caught salmon faces many challenges that threaten its viability, it is essential to explore the potential of sustainable salmon farming practices. However, it is also crucial to recognize that the transition to farm salmon comes with challenges and trade-offs, a topic that will be explored in the subsequent sections of this discussion.
The potential of farmed salmon to provide a more viable alternative to traditional wild salmon harvesting is a crucial point of discussion in the context of this research. Various sources suggest that sustainable farming practices can help address the externalities associated with declining salmon populations and overfishing. Farmed salmon offers the promise of a more controlled and sustainable food source, potentially reducing some of the critical issues inherent in wild salmon harvesting. However, much of the literature does point towards salmon farming’s potential as a sustainable alternative to the traditional wild-caught method. Subsequently, many authors also pointed to the various social, environmental, and

economic externalities associated with the practice. This portion of the literature review will explore the potential and flaws of salmon farming, as discussed by the literature.
Authors such as Song (2019), Troell et al. (2014), and Froehlich et al. (2017) emphasize the importance of sustainable practices, such as recirculating aquaculture systems, containment measures, and eco-friendly feeds, to reduce the environmental externalities associated with farmed salmon. When applied correctly, these practices can dramatically improve the sustainability of salmon farming facilities.
A fundamental aspect of the potential of farmed salmon revolves around resource efficiency and sustainability. Boyd et al. (2020) emphasize the significance of adopting sustainable practices to reduce environmental externalities. RAS is engineered to recycle and reuse water efficiently, minimizing waste and reducing the ecological footprint associated with traditional open-water aquaculture. Salmon farming practices incorporating containment
measures, particularly land-based facilities, contribute to habitat preservation and ecosystem protection, alleviating habitat destruction. Developing eco-friendly and sustainable fish feeds aids in conserving marine ecosystems and mitigating overfishing, reducing reliance on wild-
caught fish as a primary ingredient in salmon diets.
Another significant aspect of farmed salmon's potential is its role in genetic conservation and environmental responsibility. Alvanou et al. (2023) established that sustainable salmon farming practices if appropriately managed, can help preserve genetic diversity in wild salmon populations by preventing genetic interactions with farmed salmon, which is essential for the long-term health and resilience of salmon species. Additionally, the literature underlines the importance of mitigating nutrient pollution and eutrophication associated with salmon farming. Sustainable practices aim to manage nutrient inputs and waste to reduce environmental impacts responsibly.

According to Hersoug
et al. (2019), farmed salmon offers economic opportunities and impacts local communities positively. It plays a significant role in countries' GDP and generates export revenue, leading to job opportunities and local economic growth. However, the literature also acknowledges potential adverse effects in regions reliant on wild salmon. Salmon farming can lead to social externalities, particularly in regions where indigenous communities have cultural and historical ties to wild salmon. It emphasizes respecting local traditions and livelihoods while minimizing social externalities.
Despite its potential, the literature underscores the challenges and trade-offs associated with farmed salmon. Social impacts, especially ones in regions where indigenous communities have cultural and historical ties to wild salmon, need careful consideration. Sustainable efforts, although crucial, are not without environmental concerns, such as escaped farm salmon and their genetic interactions with wild populations, necessitating further research and innovation (
Macaulay et al., 2022)
. The resource inputs required by salmon farming and the need for comprehensive global standards and regulations are recognized in the literature as critical challenges that must be addressed for a sustainable and eco-conscious future of salmon production. In conclusion, the literature provides a comprehensive view of the potential and externalities of salmon farming. Adopting sustainable practices in salmon farming plays a pivotal role in mitigating the environmental and ecological externalities associated with traditional wild salmon harvesting (
Baldwin-
Cantello et al., 2023)
. Nevertheless, it is essential to consider the social, environmental, and economic aspects in a balanced manner to create a sustainable and eco-conscious future for salmon production.

practices' economic, social, and environmental implications. The findings highlight the importance of sustainable practices, innovative technologies, and comprehensive governance to mitigate externalities associated with salmon harvesting methods. For wild salmon, the emphasis is on responsible management and conservation efforts to ensure the long-term viability of wild populations. In contrast, adopting recirculating aquaculture systems, containment measures, and eco-friendly feeds is seen as a way to reduce the environmental impact of farmed salmon. In salmon farming, Norway heavily relies on fishmeal, focusing on
optimizing feed conversion ratios. In contrast, Chile embraces a diversified approach, incorporating alternative protein sources.
Norway showcases efficient freshwater utilization through recirculating aquaculture systems, while Chile exhibits a notable dependence on freshwater resources, necessitating further exploration into sustainable water management. Additionally, Norway employs advanced waste management systems to mitigate habitat disruption, while Chile encounters challenges, particularly in open-water farming practices, indicating a need for enhanced regulations. As a salmon-producing country, Norway prioritizes preserving genetic diversity and preventing genetic introgression between farmed and wild salmon. In Chile, persistent challenges necessitate a closer examination of potential genetic impacts on wild salmon. Norway demonstrates a balanced distribution of jobs, supporting local communities, whereas Chile exhibits a concentration of jobs in specific regions, highlighting the need for a more equitable distribution strategy. The cultural importance of wild-caught salmon for indigenous communities in both countries is evident. Norway showcases collaborative efforts, while Chile faces challenges necessitating inclusive policies.

necessity for context-specific strategies to enhance the sustainability of both farmed and wild-
caught salmon practices. The study emphasizes the environmental challenges of fishmeal reliance, freshwater usage, and habitat disruption in salmon farming. Recommendations for improved waste management and habitat regulation could contribute to mitigating environmental impacts. Addressing regional disparities in job creation calls for targeted interventions to promote socioeconomic development across diverse geographical areas. The study underscores the importance of inclusive policies and community engagement initiatives, especially regarding the cultural significance of wild-caught salmon (
Afewerki et al., 2023).
Government and regulatory bodies should focus on strengthening regulations, particularly in Chile, is crucial to addressing habitat concerns in open-water farming practices. Promoting sustainable water management practices and incentivizing the adoption of recirculating aquaculture systems can contribute to industry sustainability (
Cavalli et al., 2021).
Salmon industry players should diversify fish feed sources and reduce reliance on fishmeal to enhance the sustainability of salmon farming. Collaboration with local communities, especially in Chile, is essential to address concerns related to land use, water resources, and environmental impacts. Engaging in collaborative efforts with industry stakeholders is imperative to ensure the cultural significance of wild-caught salmon is respected and preserved (Glover et al., 2017; Iversen et al., 2020).
